I'd rather have an F430. I hate the idea of a luxury Ferrari. It ruins their racing heritage.

Doesn't look like a super car or how a Ferrari should look like. It actually looks quite goofy especially with those Lexus IS-F wannabe tailpipes.

Pretty much a Jack of all trades Ferrari. Though I too would take a F430, I can see the appeal this car is going to have. Not really digging the wheel design though....

No matter how ugly it is, the waiting list for this car is still 3years long already ( as of 2008)
I agree that the F430 looks much better than this, most likely because this one has a front mounted V8 .... LOL... does it make sense??
Did I hear it's heavier than a 599GTB......???

i still think the 599 looks better.

I was always under the impression that the California was supposed to be a cheaper, entry-level Ferrari. Guess I was wrong.
Still freakin' ugly, though.

I like the California. I think it looks really good. 599 and 430 look better, but it still looks really good.

The reality is that the majority of the buyers are probably fat, balding, middle aged executives who drive the car on the weekends and maybe to the office once in awhile. I would imagine very few owners would track it and all the racing heritage they need is the prancing horse and the price tag.

the interior, i agree is hideous... it should be black... but shit brown gives it that luxurious skidmark feeling right?  and i'm guessing that they made it to cater to everyone, not just lead foots. exterior looks good though

It's like when you want to relax after work, and instead of having 1 beer with your girlfriend on a patio, you chug a 40oz of Everclear and strap yourself to the wing of an F-22 Raptor about to take off. | http://www.revscene.net/forums/showthread.php?t=560682 - My Feedback
